HIGH PERFORMANCE
CURRENT MODE PWM
CONTROLLERS

DESCRIPTION
The UTC UC3844/3845 are high performance fixed frequency
current mode controllers that specifically designed for Off-Line and
DC to DC converter applications with minimal external parts count.
The differences between UC3844 and UC3845 are the
maximum duty cycle ranges and under-voltage lockout thresholds.
The UC3844 ideally suited to off-line applications with UVLO
thresholds of 16V(ON) and 10V(OFF), and UC3845 has UVLO
thresholds of 8.5V(ON) and 7.6V(OFF) for lower voltage applications.

FEATURES
* Operation output switching frequency up to 500 kHz
* Automatic feed forward compensation
* Latching PWM for cycle-by-cycle current limiting
* High current totem pole output
* Internally trimmed reference with under voltage lockout
* UVLO with hysteresis
* Low startup and operating current

PIN NAME
FUNCTION
Compensation Error amplifier output, this pin is made available for loop compensation.
Voltage Feedback, the inverting input of the Error Amplifier. It is normally connected to the
VFB
switching power supply output through a resistor divider.
A voltage proportional to inductor current is connected to this input. The PWM uses this
ISENSE
information to terminate the output switch conduction.
The Oscillator frequency and maximum output duty cycle are programmed by connecting
RT/CT
resistor RT to Vref and capacitor CT to ground. Operation to 1 MHz is possible.
GND
Power ground.
This output directly drives the gate of a power MOSFET. Peak currents up to 1A are
Output
sourced and sunk by this pin. The output switches at one-half the oscillator frequency.
VCC
Positive supply.
VREF
Reference output, provides charging current for capacitor CT though resistor RT.

2. This parameter is measured at the latch trip point with VFB=0V.
3. Comparator gain is defined as:
V Output Compensation

V Current Sense Input
4. Adjust VCC above the startup threshold before setting to 15V.
